CA buyers: Buying your BRZ or FR-S out-of-state - Page 14 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ok so we now all know the true point of friction in this whole process. a couple hours at a ca dmv really kills the joy of shipping from out of state for a huge deal.

No, it doesn't kill it for me but just so everyone knows what to expect. And it may be different for others. I did not hear about this from the other owners so I thought I lay out my experience.

Besides I'm usually pressed for time while others may have schedules to allow for calls and DMV visits. I've recently been frequenting DMV because of my son's driving permit/tests and my BRZ so it's not an unbiased comment.

you are the first person i have ever met to defend the dmv. i suppose it's as good a place as any to do crossword puzzles and read paperbacks. i will be the guy behind you trying to respond to my work emails on my phone

Guys, as discussed before, this buying out of state thing is not going to be hassle free. All in all, I would rather go through some of these troubles instead of paying $3 or $$4k over MSRP -and get my car sooner.

Many of you mention that out of state dealerships are offering below MSRP, could any of you PM me or post what offers you've been given? I've been calling around (Reno & Colorado) and the best offer I've received is $500 below MSRP. Just want to see if that's what most of you out of state buyers are receiving.

Talk to my man Marcus Moore at Shortline Subaru in Aurora, CO.... He hooked me up with over $1k below invoice! So roughly $3k below msrp. Tell him Glenn with the silver brz sent you.

whoa! that's great. they have the BRZ exactly how I want as well. GOnna shoot off an email right now!

Wow is right.

My m3 might be selling this week, which means I have to be ready to find a brz soon. I made a spreadsheet last night with dealers in LA/SD, SF, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. I also added some out of state ones for shipping. That dealership in FL still looks pretty good, but shipping from CO is cheaper.

I was surprised to find horrible markup at some of the SoCal dealers. You know who they are, and they were posting the, up for $34k.

greedy ca dealers take note! we get below invoice out of state and all it costs us is shipping and some DMV time

also, guys who are shopping, pull trigger before it stops snowing..

DNAPoPo · 01-27-2013, 11:46 PM

I wish I had time to do this. Anything worth seeing on the drive home? I figured by the time you're back, the 1000 mi break in would've been satisfied.

DNAPoPo · 01-27-2013, 11:54 PM

Whoah, speadsheet, nerd alert... LOL, totaly kidding, I did the same thing so I could keep track of what prices I was getting and from who.... I found most SoCal dealers were at least willing to take MSRP, a select few would not.
